Gorgonzola is one of my favorite cheeses and when I came across this recipe for Roasted Onion and Goronzola Soup I knew that I would have to try it. This weekend I finally got the chance to. I decided to slowly caramelize the onions at low heat as if I was making a French onion soup so that it would intensify onion flavour. This soup was really good. The saltiness of the cheese went well with the sweetness of the caramelized onions. I never would have thought to garnish the soup with caramelized pear and crumbled bacon but they went really well with the soup.

Directions:
1. Melt the butter in a large sauce pan.
2. Add the onions and cook on low heat until brown and caramelized, about 1-3 hours.
3. Add the garlic and saute until fragrant, about 30-60 seconds.
4. Add the chicken stock and bring to a boils.
5. Add the potatoes and simmer until soft, about 30 minutes.
6. Add the cream and gorgonzola cheese and stir until the cheese is melted.
7. Puree the soup with a blender.
8. Melt the butter in a clean pan.
9. Add the pear and sprinkle the sugar on.
10. Saute the pears until golden brown and caramelized.
11. Cook the bacon until crispy.
12. Serve the soup with the pear and crumbled bacon as garnish.

I've just stumbled across your site and LOVE IT. I make a lot of soups and this has jumped to my #1 Favourite Soup. My only disappointment was that it only made 4 bowls. I'll totally double the recipe next time. Caramelizing the pears was TOTALLY WORTH IT! Thanks for sharing this recipe. I can't wait for another cold day to make it again.Heather
